    Hi everyone! I made a new video on how to find the drain plugs on the engine block of a V6 4.0 2nd gen Tacoma. The service manuals' diagrams were incredibly confusing and gave the impression that the passenger plug was in the middle of the engine lol.

    This isn't a full How-To video on how to flush your coolant, but I'd be open to making a video like that if this type of how-to format is helpful. Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions! I really want to help make auto repair accessible to people :)

    I remember seeing a thread here regarding the drain valves. The drain cock is easy to locate in our trucks (V6), but I think I needed pliers to loosen it.
